An Emmy Award-Winning series based on true criminal cases from the 90’s. Unit One is a thriller series that tells the story of a group of staunch crime experts from a Danish police unit called Unit One. We follow their fascinating yet frightening work in the underworld and are thrilled by their commitment and affectionate solidarity and are equally puzzled by the often horrifying, yet true examples of human nature they face in their work. What happens to the people who have chosen to work in a job like this? As a member of Unit One, they are away from home 230 days a year. Can a marriage and a family cope with that? What kind of qualifications, what kind of team spirit do these people possess since they have one of the highest clearance rates in the world for dangerous crime? Season 1 consists of 9 episodes (2000), Season 2 consists of 7 episodes (2001), Season 3 consists of 14 episodes (2002) and season 4 consists of 2 episodes feature length (2003).
